The Loihi seamount is an active underwater volcano that has several known venting sites including Pele's Pit. CTD data were gathered and analyzed to characterize the recent volcanic activity of Pele's Pit. It was determined ...

[author supplied abstract] This experiment took a mechanical design approach to analyzing aquatic energy loss through
observing small scale water movement across a rough surface. The project was conducted in three ...

[author supplied abstract] Freshwater layers were discovered at intermediate depths north of the Kuroshio Extension front in
February 2013. The anomalous layers of freshwater were determined to have originated in the Sea ...

Modeling the effluent plume from the Renton Treatment Plant in addition to monitoring ammonium levels is one way to monitor the water quality of Puget Sound. The modeling was made possible using a Visual Plume (VP) computer ...

In 2005 two large seafloor mounds 30-40m high and approximately 350m in diameter were partially imaged in Southern Hood Canal.The
geophysical and sediment data indicate that the mounds are at least 12,000 years old and ...

[Author's Abstract]
N* is a summary parameter used to describe areas of the ocean as either sources or sinks of fixed nitrogen, with positive values denoting nitrogen fixation (a source) and negative values signaling ...

[Author's abstract] Nitrogen is a limiting nutrient controlling oceanic primary production and important to the global carbon cycle. Consequently the nitrogen cycle is important to understanding how the oceans will react ...

[Author's abstract] Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas and is currently the most important ozone-depleting anthropogenic emission. However, its atmospheric budget is not well quantified, although it is well ...

[Author's Abstract] The California Undercurrent is a current that moves northward beneath the surface waters along the Western Coast of North America from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific. It is important to understand ...

[Author's Abstract] The oceanic water south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ.) OMZs lead to greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the water. The OMZ near Cabo is expanding, causing an increase ...

In this study, dissolved oxygen was measured in Barkley Sound and Effingham Inlet with the use of a CTD and Winkler titrations. Oxygen minimum zones or "dead zones" in the world's oceans can be strongly influenced by ...

This study is an effort to improve our understanding of how urban populations directly and indirectly impact salmon and other aquatic animals. The copepod Euchaeta elongate is a salmonid food source, and carbaryl, an ...

[Author's Abstract] The marine nitrogen cycle plays an important role in primary productivity by supplying primary producers with the essential nutrient nitrate. The expansion of oxygen minimum zones in the oceans is causing ...

Research was conducted in Barkley Sound, British Columbia, to determine if pollutants are present in the waters of British Columbia, specifically around fish pen locations. Within the samples pesticides, hormones, musks, ...

This paper highlights my study on the effects of cloud cover on the primary production around the Galapagos Islands in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean. Primary production is the photosynthesis done by marine phytoplankton, ...

The Galapagos Islands are situated on a hot spot, an area in the Earth’s crust that has magma close to the surface. This study was used to collect data that would show how sediment transport takes place between Isabela and ...

[Author's Abstract] In the Eastern Tropical North Pacific within the Sea of Cortez lies a unique geologic feature. Three tectonic plates spread and twist apart over millions of years as brand new sea floor is created, ...

The goals of this study were to compare Pseudo-nitzschia species in two regions, Puget Sound and Barkley Sound, and to see if the location within the sounds had an impact on which species were present. Nine different ...

Pseudo-nitzschia species were sampled in Glacier Bay, and putatively identified using a DNA fingerprinting method. Species richness decreased with increasing inputs of freshwater and low light conditions.

Loughner, David Eric(School of Oceanography, University of Washington, 2008-06-19)

Sediment cores were collected and analyzed for rates of carbon remineralization. It was hypothesized that the sediments beneath regions and areas of relatively high primary production rates would exhibit higher carbon ...
